pork kebabs with roasted squash... 45 minutes


the goods:

6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 3 lemons)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pork tenderloin, excess fat and silver skin removed, cut into 1 and 1/2-inch pieces
1 small red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch pieces


Preheat oven to 400 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Soak 8-inch wood skewers in hot water, 15 minutes. In a large bowl, stir together lemon juice, oil, thyme, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Add pork, onion, and squash and toss to coat.


Thread pork onto skewers and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Place onion and squash on another rimmed baking sheet. Place pork on top rack and vegetables on bottom rack and roast until pork is cooked through, about 30 minutes, flipping skewers and stirring vegetables halfway through.


Remove pork and loosely tent with foil; continue roasting vegetable on bottom rack until tender and browned, 10 minutes.
